Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Lesson 440: Friendly Threesome (2)
In an instant, he jumped in front of the man who waved down his straight sword, cutting off his arm and preventing slashing.
I managed to make it in time.
I felt relieved at the bottom of my heart.
Thanks to Lark, who managed to scratch my legs, I was almost saved.Judging by the situation, the only word that came out was that I had endured well.
Originally, I should have said something about recklessness, but my face was twisted by fear, and my arm was wounded.Even though it was not a hot day, I didn't feel like emitting strong words against Lark, who was floating a lot of sweat on his forehead.
Giggle!
"Grrrr!"
Three bandits who were surprised at my appearance.One of them had captured Yana, but with Nil's appearance, it was easy to recapture.I didn't point the blade at Yana, so Nil could easily retrieve it.
However, you didn't like to show Yana the blood, so you didn't let the other man get hurt.
In an emergency, I slashed the arm of the man who was about to slash Lark, but I should have refrained from doing so.The timing was so close that I didn't have time to think about other options.
Are you okay?
”Hm... hmmm!”
When Nil called out to Yana who had been rescued, she felt relieved and cried out.As far as I could see, I wasn't injured, and it was fine, but Lark and Zakke were slashed in their arms and legs.It is not a deep wound, and it will heal immediately if the wound medicine is applied, but that is not the problem.
"You're going to swing your sword down to a child like this..."
The opponent is a child around ten years old.For the bandits, it doesn't matter whether it's an adult or a child, even if they don't tell me.I know, but when I actually see such a scene, I can't help but get angry.
"Lark. Take Yana and Zakke and stay behind us." Can you do that? "
"Yes, yes!!"
Lark immediately runs to Yana, holds her hand, and goes to Zakke, who is behind me.
Ahhhhhh!
In the meantime, the man who slashed his arm kept screaming.
"Hey, hey! These two!"
"Oh... definitely, two of them."
The man who was beaten up by Nil and the other man who was healthy ignored the other guy who lost his arm and started talking.
How dare you! I'm not expecting any blood, and I'm not going to say anything about it.But have these two not heard that we killed the transfer?
Why are you having a conversation with Yuko in this situation... I'm about to leave immediately and report, but these two don't seem to be doing it.Is there room or is it stupid? Is it stupid to show that there is room... Well, no matter what, there's no reason to let the kids get hurt and let them go.
"I feel bad about doing this in front of my children, but I can't help it."
“I can't forgive you either.”
Seeing Zakke and Lark injured and Yana crying, Nil felt angry at them.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!"
"Shut up."
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I know it's sad to lose my arm, but the man who raised his sword to the child is bad.Even though it's my fault for doing such a thing, the man who keeps screaming is depressed, and I'm going to shove a man's neck.
Before that, Lark was blocking his sight with his back, so that Yana would not see the next tragedy.It must have been judged that the stimulus was too strong for Yana.Personally, I don't want Zakke and Lark to see the situation, but it would be more traumatic for them to suffer and die slowly, and I'll end it with a single blow.
"Nil, don't hurt me."
Yes.
When Nil and I try to get rid of the two of them, the man who was blown up by Nil takes something out.Something a little spherical smaller than a baseball.It would be appropriate as a word to describe appearance.
Whatever it is, I'm not going to wait for you to use it.
Damn it!
I approached the man who took out the item, and Nil approached the other one at the same time without a signal.
Nil and I have reached a significant level of collaboration.I am confident that this level of cooperation will not be broken, and I have no problems at all.
When Nil and I jumped in, they pushed out their straight and qu swords.
The one who tried to use the item turned his sword at me before he could use it.I think that the item in my hand is like a smoke grenade that informs my people of our existence, but if you ignore our movements and use it, you may have been able to inform your people... no, there is no heart that moves like that for them.Just as Lark was wounded and was ready to abandon his life to save Yana without a weapon, it's impossible for these guys to put the lives of their allies before their own.The day they truly understand Lark's actions will never come.
I had no choice but to let them get away with it.
Nevertheless, these two are... slow moving.
You seem to be stopping because you recently fought a player.In the first place, the strength of these two is said to be under the inside.Too far apart to tell what we're capable of.
In other words, the people who are rampaging near Janoya may be the bottom line.It's a bait to lure us in.Still, these guys can feel good about robbing, so they don't know it's bait and don't complain.If that happens, I can't expect any information either.There's no need to keep him alive.
Shh, shh, shh, shh!
Neither Nil nor I struggled at all, and we both had their necks torn.The battle ended with a single blow.
"Lark. Zakke. Are you okay?"
As soon as I took the sword, I turned around and approached the three Larks.
Both Zakke and Lark are quite nervous.It's only natural to be nervous in a situation where you might die.
Yana kept crying, and she must have felt pretty scared.
"Ah, thank you... thank you..."
Lark thanked her with a strong voice.
"First of all, I'll take care of the injuries."Let's just move a little bit. ”
I don't want to talk to the children in a place where there are three corpses rolling on the boulders.
Move the place as far as possible from the wall to avoid showing the corpse.There are only cotton fields around, and there is no place to hide, but there is no sign of the bandits, so the three Larks should be calmed down at an appropriate place, and they should be treated immediately.
Zakke and Lark are bleeding from the cut, but the bleeding is already coming to an end, not the deep bleeding.I'm glad it wasn't a big deal.
By the time the allowance was over, Yana stopped crying, and Zakke and Lark were relieved of the tension.
"First of all, the allowance is over." It may still hurt, but it should get better soon.
I'm really glad there weren't any major injuries. ”
…………………
The three of them kept silent and did not speak a word.
What's the matter?
"...... that......"
I looked down at the three people who were moaning, and immediately understood what I was trying to say.They must be aware that they have done something reckless.I'm trying to apologize, but I'm afraid of being scolded, so I can't say.
Zakke, who is supposed to be more energetic than anyone else, is just opening his mouth this time.
"Rest now, anyway. Is that okay?"
"" "Yes..." "
To be honest, I don't want to scold you.
If you're aware that you've done something reckless, you should have it firmly engraved in your head without daring to say it.It would have been a terrifying experience for the children.Besides, now, I'm just glad that the three of them were safe.Among the men we tried to kill earlier, there was a man with a shackle of slavery.Perhaps some of the three of them were trying to put it on Yana.If we had been a little late for help, Lark would have been slaughtered, and Yana would have been a slave.It is a miracle that neither event occurred and we were able to rescue them.
Considering the absence of Heine and the others who were supposed to be out there first, I'm pretty sure they've gone through another route and overtaken the children.In other words, even if the three people with high ability to find enemies went, they could not find them.
It was so difficult to find three children in this vast cotton field, and we would not have found them without noticing their voices, and there was plenty of potential for that.
If I hadn't been found, I'd still be terrified even now that I've already rescued three people.
Therefore, there is no choice but to offend the children, and perhaps their guardians will do so.
In the first place, the children rushed out of the village to help us.Even though it was reckless, there was a feeling in there that we should help us.I don't want to scold you for it.
All we can do is reassure them and take them back to the village.
That said, I felt that it was different to use the words "I don't have to apologize" or "I'm not angry", so I had to rest with a gentle voice and a face as much as possible.
At times like these, parents with their own children may be able to say something a little more decent, but they have no experience with it, and their children are not particularly good at it.I don't know how to reassure the anxious children.
"It's okay. There are no more bandits."
Unlike me, Nil handles the children well, stroking Jana's back with a gentle voice.Yana looked up at Nil with a slightly reassuring smile.
Some people admire Nil, but in the first place Nil is very good at handling children.This kind of time is really helpful.
Master, what should we do?
"That's right..."
Bringing the children back to Tenolt is a definite matter, but I rushed out without deciding how to communicate with Heine, so I need to let Heine know that I found the children.
If you go there, you should be able to meet Heine and the others, because we decided on the meeting point around Janoya in advance because of these times and when we got separated.There may be skirmishes like ours, but if it's like this, it's a good match for Heine's rehabilitation, so don't worry.
If so, it is likely that we are on our way to the rendezvous point of our choice.If we go there, we'll meet Heine, but we won't be able to take the kids.
"Nil. I'm sorry, but can you go and let Heine and the others know?"I'd like to continue my reconnaissance if possible. "
“Okay, let's head to the place we decided on in advance.”
"Oh, please."
With Nil now, we won't beat most of our opponents, and if we're careful, we won't be able to face anyone.
"If I send the three of them to the village, I will meet them immediately."Until then, please wait. ”
“Okay, then I'll go first.”
Yeah.
Nil is more accustomed to the treatment of children, but if Nil alone is sent to the village, there is a possibility of getting into trouble from the position of a slave, so it would be best for me to go.
"... we're not coming back!"
After seeing off Nil, Zakke shouts as if he had decided to do it.
You think they're wrong, but they moved to help us.There is disappointment for the people of the village of Tenolt.
I think Nil and I eliminated the monsters for the village, did various other quests, and contributed to the village accordingly.I also guided the children in swordsmanship.If you say that to us, you are angry with the villagers who are trying to avenge their debt, so it is not surprising to say that the children do not want to go back to the village.
However, I think it's subtle that all the people in the village were saying they were going to sell us.
In short, if we help ourselves, the bandits are attacking villages and cities indiscriminately.Even if you sell us, you'll know that our village will not be safe.
Best of all, Zakke, Lark, Yana, and the other three are getting angry at the fact that they're selling us, which means that at least their guardians are teaching them to do evil things.I don't think those guardians are trying to sell us.
"The villagers said they were handing over Mr. Kaido and the others to the bandits!"
Yana is odd, but Zakke and Lark frowned at the villagers without trying to hide their anger at them.
"I used my head to think, as Mr. Kaido told me."But if I risk my life to kill the bandits, I won't be able to sell them! "
Lark is still smart.Normally, the children's way of thinking is to resent the villagers and complain to them.No, Hanatha said it had actually gone bad, and she would have thought so.However, after the outbreak, I looked at the villagers who wouldn't change their minds and wondered how they could not sell us.
As a result, I felt that my thoughts were sweet, but I thought about how to deal with the bandits who were the culprits.
If you can measure yourself and your opponent's strength more carefully, Lark will definitely turn into one.
Nevertheless, that is not the case now.
I didn't know what to do with the two of them who insisted on not leaving, but I was in trouble...
Zakke and Lark are going home!!
Jana, who had been oozing, takes the two hands and pulls them.
"Ya, Yana?!"
"I don't want to be scared! I don't want you both to get scared!"
Yana lets them out in tears.
Yana, who is usually just hiding behind them, shouts to stop them.
"... what did your parents say?"
Seeing that, I ask Zakke and Lark questions.
"That's..."
Both Zakke and Lark shut up.As expected, neither Zakke's parents nor Yana's parents, Lark's guardian, are trying to sell us.
"Lark, what you should have done this time is convince the grown-ups who agree with you, right?"
Lark and the others tried to do something on their own, but in this situation it's almost impossible for three children to do it.
Involving adults. I think that was the best course of action.
……………
"Go home and talk to your parents."I'm sure your parents will come up with something you can't think of and know how to translate it into action. ”
……………
I'm going home!!
When Yana said strongly to the two of them in silence and pulled, the two immobile legs began to move.
You should think you understand…
I'll just take Zakke and the three of us to the village of Tenolt.I wish I had a carriage, but because I didn't have one, I borrowed a wagon in a nearby town and put three people on it.The village was already desolate, but I had to return it.It shouldn't be a problem to speed it up to a certain point.It may shake a little, but I think you'll have to put up with it.Heine and the others were in danger when they were relaxed within the opposing faction.
Haha, it's fast!
At once, we move to the village of Tenolt, listening to the screams of the three people who are holding onto the rattling wagon.
When they unloaded from the wagon near the village of Tenolt, the three of them had a pale face.However, we were able to get the three of them to Tenort Village safely.I came home satisfied with my five bodies, so let me ask you to forgive me.
Hanatha and Kevin waited as they reached the front of Tenolt Village.
Khaido-san! Guys!
Hanatha clenched her hands like she was praying, but when she saw us, she ran and clasped the three children.
"Great! I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Oh! Really! I'm so glad!"
The both of you stroked your chest so relieved that you lost your vocabulary.Hanatha's heartbeat was so relieved that she was crying.Even if you're not a real parent, it's a small village, and everyone is like a family.From the bottom of my heart, I'm delighted that they're back.
"Really stupid kids! Why did you do this!"
Hanatha, knowing the reason, cries and gets angry that she has to say something.
"" "I'm sorry..." "
The three of them apologized immediately because they already understood that they were wrong.
Zakke!!
Yana! Lark!
Zakke's parents and Jana's parents ran from inside the village, holding the three together.I'm worried about my child, and I must have been looking out.When we arrived, he realized he was coming out barefoot.
I was so worried that if Hanatha and Kevin hadn't stopped us, we would have gone looking for them ourselves.To make them think so, the parents cried in relief, clutching the children in their arms.
Even Hanatha and Kevin were so relieved that they cried, so as a guardian, I must have felt like my whole body was out of strength.
I heard that Lark was not his real parents, but I immediately understood that Yana's parents, like Lark's real parents, loved Yana and Lark.
"I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now."Hurry up, too. "
I'll take a short look at the children's interactions with their parents, and then I'll tell Hanatha and Kevin.
If the other villagers find me, I may be handed over, and I can't stay long.
